Her necklace.

Oh wow, I thought she was showing some of her ripped out back hair in the follow up to the attack.

Savage Belief:ParallelUniverseParking: Wrong tag I think. It would be "Ironic" of she would get mugged on TV while talking about how GREAT the police force is. That sounds more like a case for the "Obvious" tag.

/move over grammar nazi, here comes the tag police//mustache and sunglasses not mandatory/// now open for battlecry suggestions

Brazil is a shiathole. It has some beautiful places, some compelling old culture and genuinely nice people, but it's still a shiathole. I don't get how the Olympic committee so often picks these dangerous, poverty-stricken developing nations as destinations when safer countries with greater equality get ignored.

I think the the majority of the drug gangs are smart enough not to harm tourists. The Brazilian special forces units (BOPE) are some of the most dangerous motherfarkers in South America. The bangers know that they will straight up roll through their favela and start shooting basically at random. The cops are more bloodthirsty than the gang bangers.

fusillade762:I love how they don't bother to tell you what country it is until the last paragraph. That's some fine reporting.

I assume it was Brazil because in the first sentence it says "in the middle of a Brazilian news segment" and they're talking Spanish like they're drunk. Portuguese sounds exactly like very drunken Spanish.

Also, there is not shiathole in South America like a Brazilian shiathole. I can't wait for the World Cup or the Olympics. It's going to be a shiatstorm.

You've got to either be kidding or have been sheltered in a closet all your life by overprotective parents.

In later news tonight: First Ugly Brazilian Woman Ever Seen Getting Necklace Broken

Witness report: "I couldn't believe it. She doesn't have any ass, ugly as sin, probably isn't waxed, and she's Brazilian?! Probably doesn't like Angra or Sepultura either. What is the world coming to?! I hope this isn't spreading!"

debug:I saw that part, but he failed to actually take anything. So what was stolen?

A crappy but wearable necklace that probably cost her a month's wages, now a broken chain that will cost her two months' wages to repair or replace.

/yes, it will cost more to replace it//people living in a consumer culture where everything is mass produced probably don't get how that's possible///even a crappy necklace might as well be priceless when there are no more to buy
